ÿ is 0xFF in many character sets. It sounds like you might have a bad card.

You are using decent power supplies and not removing the card while the power's on? I'm sure you're doing it right, but these are really common paths to card corruption.

Incidentally I couldn't find a good GUI `tool for discovering network printers and adding them to my Pi - anyone?

the system-config-printer package does that. It may already be installed - look under the Preferences menu

This may be more difficult than you might hope, as Safari formats the output depending on the printer the user chooses. So if you set up your generic destination to have an A4 Portrait paper size, any job intended for the A5 Landscape printer will end up with … A4 Portrait paper size. The highest-le...

You might have more luck searching for a more common name for the sensor. These are generally known as a Keyes KY-022. There are many reports of them working, or configuration quirks/workarounds, such as: New Lirc (0.10.1-5.2) is not working on Raspbian - Raspberry Pi Forums.

So if you're using NOOBS, a 64 GB card is a problem. Please see Formatting an SDXC card for use with NOOBS

This is why NOOBS is not so great for many users.

Probably, but it's not IPP so the easy way won't work.

Openprinting says you have a couple of options for the (I hope) similar Dell 3100cn. It seems to support PCl and PostScript, so plug it in via USB and see what happens in the Printing preferences window when you add a new printer

So, does anybody know the code, in the BASH file, to....SIMULATE THE PRESSING OF THE ENTER KEY. echo "" | python3 robotcontrol.py & should give the script a newline on stdin. If your code is expecting actual HID keyboard events that won't work, but if you're using input() then you should be okay

It could also be something to do with Samba's vfs_fruit module. Apple has done some odd things to Windows networking, and the default configs for Samba that I've seen use these extensions for better compatibility. One of the extensions allows you to set custom icons for servers. I suspect that your ...

You already are using all available space on the card. NOOBs is a system that makes it easy to install an operating system for a Raspberry Pi. Distributors especially like it as it allows them to quickly copy system files onto an out-of-the-box formatted µSD card and have the user see something work...

… I've been looking for a **simple** as possible way to run a handful Wind*ws apps … There is no simple way of doing this. You might be able to get Windows 3.1 running under dosbox, but it's quite a bit of work just to get the thing booted. Also, the dosbox developers do not support (and actively s...

Your &s mean that the shell script is running the Python programs as separate background jobs. It's very easy to get input mixed up with those. If no terminal window appears, there will be no keyboard input stream for your program. Python may have some words for you about that.

scruss

I'm sorry, but if you can't follow how to install from a simple script, it's going to be too much work for us to hand-hold you through the process.

No answer because not enough info? … so i have soldered 3 wires to the USB to Serial converter. GND goes to GND on the, RX to TXa and TX to RXa. That means i didn't connect POWER, CTS and RTS Where did you solder the wires? I can see the pads on the USB-RS232-PCB, but did you solder wires directly t...

it's the second code box in the top post: search for installobs.sh on the page.

That poster is quite frequently on here, too. But you will get better package-specific help on the OBS forum than here.

But it is called Calculator in the menu …

The PiBreak Plus is not bussed. Unless you have an older 26-pin Raspberry Pi, you want the Plus version.

Cool Components are supposed to be a Freetronics reseller in the UK.

How will you know the wind speed output from the hairdryer? Unless you want to measure wind speed like "It was really windy today - 3.4 hairdryers!" A hairdryer or fan will be fine for testing output, but not really for calibration: hairdryer output will be very turbulent. Cup anemometers really onl...

Look under the Raspberry Menu → Accessories. The calculator there is pretty good

That last handheld/USB link is for an HVAC anemometer used for measuring flow in ducts. They can also be used for brief measurements, typically at sports events. Not so much use for long-term monitoring. The wind vanes I used to use (from Vector Instruments , R. M. Young and NRG ) nearly all used 36...

While the HL-3045CN is discontinued, it claims to support IPP so should work out of the box. If you're directly connecting, though, all bets are off.

Thanks for the updated Openprinting link - I was still using the ancient one with its ~1997 interface. Thanks also to bomblord for confirming that IPP is installed by default now. The bias against Canon printers came from many queries where people wanted to get the cheapest USB Pixmas working with a...

⌘ on Apple is Ctrl on Raspbian, mostly. Sometimes the terminal needs Shift+Ctrl+{X,C,V} to work. Not everything has copy and paste.

If you enable a Compose key, you get better multilingual character input than Mac OS has every had: Compose + ^ + e → ê.

Look for something that supports AirPrint : that's Apple's brand name for IPP. Yes, it assumes a wireless printer, but most are these days. I think that IPP support might be baked into the Raspbian with Desktop distribution these days. If you want an AIO with scanner to work, that's more fiddly. Whi...

The Teensy - or any USB HID-capable Arduino clone like the Arduino Micro, Leonardo, Pro Micro, possibly even the Adafruit Trinket M0 - can be used as an input controller. Most of those custom keyboards that are so in vogue use them. The LipSync from the charity I work for uses an Arduino Micro to ma...

The Game HAT does all this, but how it allocates all of its pins I don't know.
